Wardrobe Essentials-Our Top Five Picks

We asked our
fashion editors and staff which pieces they just can’t live without this
fall.These five wardrobe essentials may
be an investment, but they’re totally
worth it.

1. The perfect
plan white-T

“Sure, at $1200.00,
it’s at a higher price point than your average tee. But the way you’ll feel
when wearing it will completely offset the cost. As a bonus, stains are
repelled at the subatomic level. You don’t need to fear a splash of ketchup or
an inkblot ruining your perfect white shirt. You own a freaking twelve-hundred
dollar t-shirt! Nothing as mundane as a condiment can touch you.”-Ashley
Harvest Smythe, Junior Fashion Editor

White tee: The Rowhouse, $1250.00,
available in sizes XXS, XS, and S

2. Leather bootës

“If had to
identify one “signature piece” in my fashion life, it would be these boots. It’s
important to note that these are not really boots, but bootës, which are only crafted in one tiny village in the Swiss
Alps, by ancient German cobbler-wizards. Also, the leather is broken in
perfectly, and when I wear them I can pretend I’m tall.”-Meike Watershall,
Marketing Writer

Rüdesheim Bootës,
$9,000.00

3. The perfect
leather jacket

“This sumptuous
jacket isn’t just something I wear, it’s my soul.
I mean that pretty much literally since I sold mine to a mid-level demon to buy
it.”-Anjelika Sampson-Posey, Fashion Writer

Leather jacket, Batmain, $29,755.00

4. Hand-knit
cardigan

“I live in this sweater every winter. When
I meditate every morning, I send a humble blessing to the special ladies in
southern Nepal who raised the sheep, worsted the wool, and finally hand-knit
this gorgeous winter artifact. I also say “thank you” to the universe that I am
lucky enough to own it. #blessed #authentic.”-Remedy Milios, Associate Fashion Editor

Hand-knit cardigan, Christopher Kross,
$43,000.00

5. Clown pants

“THESE pants. I
adore these vintage clown pants. Every winter I can’t wait to break out these
gorgeous pants. I like to pair them with a vintage Chanel blazer. The amount of
attention I get out on the streets would absolutely blow your mind.”-Vixen
Braxton, Senior Fashion Editor
